leader:

Wq have met together, our Heavenly Father, to study and to
discover the truth of history. Keep out of our hearts all bitterness—
knowing that bitterness engenders, strife ; Keep out of our minds nil
narrowness, knowing that narrowness weakens character; keep out
of our hearts all injustice, knowing that Injustice is sinful.

May we measure ourselves by Thy measurnig rod, and give to all
their due, Cully, freely and fairly.

All:

Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
Who shall dwell In thy holy hill?

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and spoak-
etb the truth tn his heart.

He that Blandexeta not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
friend, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor.

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned: but be honoiireth them
that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt and chang-
eth not.

He that putteth not out his money to usury r nor taketh reward
against the Lnnocent

Ho that doeth these things Bhall never be moved.

Leader:

Let the words of our mouths, and the meditatlong of our hearts
he acceptable In thy sight, Lord, our "Rock and our Redeemer.
Amen.

"31ARS ROBERT IS ASLE£p."

(By Miss S. B. Valentine, Richmond, Va., May, 1883.)

{The following verses are based on incident of the War between
the States which Gen. B. D. Fry, of the Confederate Army, related
to the author, Mies Valentine.

Gen. l*e sorely fatigued by a hard day's march, lay down on a
log: beside tho road and quickly fell asleep. Soon a column of
soldiers came down the road, laughing and talking as they marched
along. A burly trooper who had been standing guard by tho Gen-
eral's improvised couch, rushed oat into the road and whispered.
'"Hush, Mara Robert's asleep!"

The word passed down the line and the ranks, instantly subdued,
tip-toed past their sleeping leader.)

J Had you heard the distant tramping

On that glowing summer day!
Had you seen our comrades running

To meet us. on the way!
Dlt, the wondrous, suddon silence,

Th" unm Hilary creep,
Ae down tho line that caution ran.
Mars Robert Is asleep!"

Blve me your hand. Old Blue Coat,

Lot's talk nf tMa awbilo;
for the prettiest march of all the war

Was this of rank and file; —
Was the passing of that army,
When 'twas hard, I ween, to keep
• men from crying out "Hurrah!
its Robert Is asleep!"

lay that knightly figure,
One hand upon bis aword.

Bi other pressed above his heart,
A vow without a word?

Two laurel leaves had flattered down.
For flowers their virgils keep.

Ami rhowned him, though I think
they knew
"Mars Robert was asleep!"

Jn glorious old Westminster

No monument of war, •
>Jo marble story half so grand

As this our army saw.
Our leafy old Westminster —

Virginia's woods — now keep
Immortal that low whiaper,

"Mars Robert Is asleep!"

As we clasp hands, old Bine Coat,

List Brother of tho North;
Had foreign foes assailed your homes,

You then had known his worth!
Unbroken virgll o'er those homes

it had been his to keep;
Step lightly o'er the border then —

"Mars Robert is asleep!'"

He's yours and mine Is Robert Lee.

He's yours and mine, hurrah!
These tears you've shed hove sealed

the past.

And closed the wound of war!
These clasping hands, old Blue Coat,

We'll swear by the tears you weep.
The sounds of war shall be muffled —

"Mars. Robert is asleep!"
